| Description: | Sgorr Ruadh from the north-east, Achnashellach, Ross & Cromarty. A mountain formed of thrust Torridon Sandstone with wedges of Cambrian quartzite. Sgorr Ruadh consists largely of Torridonian sandstone. An infold of Cambrian quartzite on the western slope of the mountain has its base at the prominent pale bed in the middle ground. The top of the outlier occurs at the break of slope below the left summit. The outlier forms the core of a syncline whose complementary anticline has been cut out by a thrust. The quartzite is easily distinguished by its pale colour and tendency to form screes. |
